Cake Boss

That's right folks!

Buddy Valastro

The one and only Cake Boss!

I was so starstruck! I couldn't even believe that I was really meeting him! I was shaking and tongue tied! Pretty sure I told him I was a huge fan about 20 times!

He gave me a giant hug and asked "How ya doin?"

It was so cool to hear his voice in person!

He was extremely kind and funny! Exactly how he appears on TV.

"What are you celebrating?"

"Meeting you of course!"

"That's so cool! I've never signed a pin before! You will be my first!"

We were so giddy afterwards! Walking away with big goofy grins on our faces!

"He asked me where I worked! And I told him!" Haha... oh Janelle!

Even looking at these pictures now I feel all giddy again!

This was definitely a check off of my bucket list!

Disney life is a good life.

Work lots and when you don't; play at the parks.
Seeing characters in the break room never gets old.
Discounts on cool things like Chick-fil-A, pedicures, and Medieval Times. (1-800-WeJoust)
Special events. Such as the Mickey's Not So Very Scary Boo To You Halloween Parade Premier.
Greet little princesses and pirates all day long.
Character hunting is addicting. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself.
Random free mickey bars.
Dancing to the parades is encouraged.
Headaches from wearing crowns. Seriously? Who else can say that?
Nightly firework shows

I signed my soul to Disney

(Not really, but after several hours of pamphlets, paperwork, and non-stop information it sure did feel that way.)

Yesterday I:

Checked into the Disney World College Program.

Found out where I will be living.

Moved into my apartment.

Met many new friends.

Including my 7 roommates.

Erin.

Ashlee.

Kristin.

Mary.

Danee.

Ali.

Janelle.

Found out where I will be working.

Magic Kingdom - Main Street West.

Looking forward to getting a fabulous Disney costume.

Pictures to come soon.

Got fingerprinted & background checked.
Made a giant 2 shopping cart Super Target run.

Had dinner with my parents.

First meal of the day?

Did some more room organization.

Showered.

Crashed on my bed.

Today I:

Pulled my crazy humidified hair up.

Made a giant grocery shopping run.

Publix & Super Target (again).

Stocked my cupboard and fridge shelf.

(Don't worry I've got a secret snack drawer in my room too)

Attended a meeting of rules and regulations.

Said goodbye to my parents.

Maybe shed a few tears.
(Okay... not maybe. I did.)

Had good chats with the roomies.
Hid from the (Florida Style) rain.

Pool/Dance Party @ Vista Way.
Free Food!
Met many more new friends.
Protected Danee from creeper tattoo wife-beater man.
Highfived green spandex suit man.
Did 6 minute abs with the roomies.
(It was purely awesome! I'm not sure if my abs were more worked out from the video or from laughing?)
Had a wonderful phone conversation with Devininkus.
And now here I am blogging this post.

The past 2 days have SPED by!

I still have lots to figure out.

Like bus routes and where to put the mixing bowls that are currently located on my bedroom floor.

I'm totally exhausted.

So I'm glad that I have the later Traditions Class tomorrow.

(12:45 vs 6:45am)

And then me and the roomies are going to play in Disney World!! Woot Woot!

I miss everyone very much!

But I am extremely happy for this opportunity!I am glad that I pushed myself out of my comfort zone;Sometimes you just have to follow your heart and believe you can do it!It feels good!

The next week is going to be full of new things,and I'm so excited and ready!

P.S. - Sorry no pictures yet!

But i'm sure there will be plenty in the future!

We have recently discovered that not only does cotton candy make a delicious sugary treat...

it also makes fabulous facial hair!

Simply just:

mold,

apply,

and enjoy!

Cousins

Wasn't it just yesterday that we were having our beloved cousin sleepovers?

Playing Polly Pockets, Tiniest Petshops, and Ponies all night long.

Where did all the time go?!

The Happiest Job on Earth

Tomorrow I am...

moving to Florida and working at

Disney World

The job will be in retail
long hours,

and only minimum wage

but I'm still really excited!

This is a huge opportunity for me to learn and grow in a new setting. I'm a little bit scared of all the unknowns to come, but I'm more ready for all the ways I'll be able to grow!

So start making plans to travel to Florida and come visit me!
